Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

I would not call it deceit, since the Ruby standard does accurately describes a subset of Ruby v1.8. It is more a workaround for institutional rigidity. I guess we would likely be better of without such bureaucracies, but it is utopic to think they will disappear any time soon. The best we can d

Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

Paul, I fully agree with your ideas on what should be standardized. Either a subset of Go1 or Go1 once Go2 is in full swing. Go++, perish the thought! >_< -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop re

Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

I see, I did not realize that in the USA, the standardization organizations expect to take control over the language. That is not very good. I understand people's concerns better now. The Ruby standard was submitted through the Japanese standard organization which was far more sympathetic and f

Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

Java and python have become so common that all but the most hard headed bureaucrats have to acknowledge those languages, if only for the ease of hiring people who can program in them. The same cannot be said yet of Ruby and Go, which are far less popular. Hopefully that will change, but for th

Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

I guess that would be a workaround, but a Go to, say , Ada transpiler is not an easy project. Still, something to consider. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

I can assure you that my concern is not theoretical but based on real life experience. Unfortunately I am not at liberty to discuss in detail... As for the approach, a community based workgroup with backing from Google may be a more viable idea. -- You received this message because you are sub

Re: [go-nuts] Regarding contracts

I don't think this is fear, but rather KISS. The reason many people dislike contracts from the official proposal is that they are complex and don't have a very Go-like syntax. I like this like syntax because I feel it is more Go-like, but also because it solves the operator problem rather eleg
